It’s Time to Kick Erdogan’s Turkey Out of NATO

... After 67 years, that day has arrived: Turkey, which for half a century was a stalwart ally in the Middle East while proving that a Muslim-majority nation could be both secular and democratic, has moved so far away from its NATO allies that it is widely acknowledged to be defiantly supporting the Islamic State in Syria in its war against the West. Since Islamist strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan came to power in 2003, Turkey has taken a harshly authoritarian turn, embracing Islamic terrorists of every stripe while picking fights it can’t finish across the region - including an escalating war with 25 million ISIS-battling Kurds and a cold war turning hot with Russia, whose plane it rashly shot down in November. With those fights coming home to roost - as bombs explode in its cities and with enemies at its borders - Turkish leaders are now demanding unconditional NATO support, with Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu declaring on Saturday that he expects “our U.S. ally to support Turkey with no ifs or buts.”

Ever since Turkey screwed us during the invasion of Iraq, they have been Dead to me!

[dfwgator]

If I had known better, I would have gladly let the Soviets have Turkey. Keeping the Turks happy is more trouble than it’s worth.

[McGruff]

There’s a problem getting the nukes we have there out first. And that huge airbase. But I’m all for declaring Turkey a terrorist sponsoring state. Someone should takeout that madman Erdogan.

[Wuli]

There is no problem. They are not under Trukey’s control.

[packrat35]

Don’t know if I would go that far, but they sure as heck aren’t our friends!

Not a big fan of Erdogan or Turkey.

That being said, tossing it out of NATO causes it to more earnestly look for another entity to join.

Is it wise to push it more firmly into the Russian, China, Iran camp?

The only thing that America owes Turkey is a boot to the face.

Erdogan can sod off and, as far as I am concerned, it would be a beautiful thing if Russia takes Byzantium and sends the Turks howling into the wilderness of the Asian Steppes.

American foreign policy: trump-up evidence to attack Syria, a country that is not attacking us or its neighbors; do nothing about Turkey, a country that is invading Syria and supporting radical Islam.
